| Submission declined on 29 April 2025 by Theroadislong (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

Feroot Security is a Canadian cybersecurity company founded in 2017 that develops tools to detect and mitigate client-side security threats in web applications. Its software monitors browser-based activity to support compliance with data protection regulations including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Feroot’s platform is designed to automate compliance workflows, generate audit-friendly reports, and assist with enforcement of security policies aligned with global privacy and data protection standards.
History
[edit]The company was established in 2017 by Ivan Tsarynny and Vitaliy Lim in response to the growing incidence of client-side security threats associated with JavaScript-heavy websites. In 2024, Feroot began incorporating artificial intelligence to enhance its platform's threat detection and compliance monitoring capabilities. The company has since released a range of products targeting various regulatory frameworks. Feroot’s approach uses AI-powered behavioral analysis to monitor JavaScript activity, detect anomalies, and support non-intrusive deployment without requiring code modifications.
Leadership
[edit]Ivan Tsarynny
[edit]Ivan Tsarynny is the CEO and co-founder of Feroot Security. He has participated in public discussions and briefings related to digital security risks, including providing testimony[1] before a U.S. congressional body in 2025 regarding the potential misuse of web tracking technologies. His views have been cited by various media organizations.
Vitaliy Lim
[edit]Vitaliy Lim is the Chief Technology Officer of Feroot Security. He leads the company’s technical development, drawing on a background in secure web application development. He has contributed to the development of Feroot’s proprietary detection methods for monitoring potentially malicious browser-side code.
Products and Services
[edit]Feroot’s product suite includes:
- PaymentGuard AI[2]: A solution aimed at helping businesses comply with PCI DSS requirements by protecting payment data from client-side threats.
- HealthData Shield AI[3][4]: A tool focused on supporting HIPAA compliance by safeguarding health-related data exposed through web interactions.
- AlphaPrivacy AI[5]: Software designed to assist with compliance under various international privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA by identifying and monitoring unauthorized data access.
- CodeGuard AI: A monitoring system that detects potential code modifications and script injections, helping organizations maintain software integrity.
These tools are intended to help organizations manage client-side risks and protect sensitive data processed via web applications.
Regulatory Compliance Focus
[edit]PCI DSS
[edit]Feroot Security’s solutions are designed to address specific requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). For example, its tools support Requirement 6.4.3, which involves reviewing custom code changes to identify vulnerabilities, and Requirement 11.6.1, which calls for mechanisms to detect unauthorized changes to web content. Feroot’s platform provides monitoring capabilities that help organizations track browser-side activity to detect unauthorized scripts or code injections targeting payment data fields.
HIPAA
[edit]Feroot’s technology is also used by healthcare providers and vendors to support compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The platform focuses on detecting client-side risks that could lead to exposure of Protected Health Information (PHI), particularly via unauthorized JavaScript behavior on patient portals or healthcare websites. These capabilities are aligned with the HIPAA Security Rule's requirements for technical safeguards such as access control, audit controls, and integrity monitoring.
Technology
[edit]Feroot uses a combination of real-time script analysis, AI-driven threat detection, and behavioral pattern recognition. Its system learns typical script behaviors and flags deviations that could signal security risks. These capabilities are applied to help ensure compliance with several data protection standards, including GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
DeepSeek Research
[edit]In early 2025, Feroot published research documenting the presence of tracking code in the DeepSeek AI application, which it claimed was transmitting data to servers associated with China Mobile. The findings were reported by major news outlets and discussed in governmental forums in the United States and Canada. A detailed review of the platform and its implications for national security was also provided by the United States House Select Committee on the CCP.[6] Feroot’s role in this discovery was covered by media including ABC News[7], the Associated Press[8], CNBC[9], The Independent[10], Yahoo Finance[11], and The Wall Street Journal[12].
